Turkish Great Chess, variation VI

Introduction

This game was communicated to John
Gollon by the same Savio
Cagliostro who invented Cagliostro's
Chess. He was unable to supply any prior documentation. John Gollon thought
Cagliostro had probably invented it himself. It is, of course, none the worse if
that is true.

Setup

The board is ten squares by ten. Each player's first rank, from left to
right, is Rook, Knight, Bishop, Archbishop, General, King, Queen, Bishop,
Knight, Rook.

Pieces

The Archbishop moves as Bishop or Knight.

The General moves as Rook, Bishop, or Knight.

The Pawns, starting on the second rank, may move one, two, or three
squares on the first move, and en passant capture is possible at either
juncture.

Rules

The standard rules of Chess apply except that a stalemated player loses.
